Good grief indeed...

"Labour got utterly kicked in the local and Euro elections because they weren't left-wing enough and didn't nationalise enough banks."

So, nothing to do with the high tax burden, their total fucking incompetence, Brown's utter inability to do anything right as well as being a total cunt, and the fact that the people are not quite as stupid as Polly would like, then...

Still, it seems that Polly really has given up on the Prime Mentalist now.

Pause a moment and ask: what exactly is radical or leftwing about Gordon Brown? There never was a whisker between him and Blair, beyond jealousy. It was a fiction that deceived many...

Has Polly seen the number of votes cast for very left-wing parties? Let's take London:

Socialist Labour Party (Scargill's mob): 15,306Socialist Party of GB: 4,050

Combined vote: 19, 356, 1.1% of the vote.

A Christian alliance party got 51,336 votes, 2.9% of the vote. Polly's 'answer' to Britain's problems was smashed into nth place by religious moonbats.

I amazed, amazed that these people constantly think that following an electoral disaster the answer is to move leftwards. Please do so, as Labour would be destroyed. Still, I sense that Polly yearns for impotent opposition, where her principles can be massaged weekly without the messy reality of government to soil them.

If you want a proper laugh at ignorant commentators, go dig up Krugman's latest in the NYT. According to The Bearded Sage, it turns out that the only reason Brown is unpopular is because of the subprime mortgage crisis. All his problems are the result of things completely beyond his control but, apparently, British voters are just too stupid to understand that.
